It's really amazing! For the second time running I've been working in the garden when the API went down. Hope you're bets balance out in your favour LeTiss, if it's not back in time.

This does not usually happen with a live test match occurring UTTER WANKERS!

Significant sum also in bets today. This is nightmare.

[greenmark]

Simply astounding. Simple incompetence. I was in IT for 25 years. This level of lack of reslience is comical or tragic.

What bugs me about these outages is they never give an explanation, they just apologise for the inconvenience until the next time.

I wonder if the fact they gave an explanation earlier today is a one off. They said it was the fault of the 'internal tools' which I thought was a terrible way to speak about your own employees.

Is BetDaq still up?

I thought that earlier... BF sent me a DM on twitter after ranting at them.

Although seriously, BetDaq would allow people to hedge £8k if needed...?

Assuming you have another 8k !

well, the problem is a little more complex than that. there's no way in this scenario to know if bets will be voided or not. so, you could hedge on Betdaq only to find that everything was voided on BF and the hedges all went against you...
